"You could burn down in flames, or your life could change forever. Either way, it’ll be a crazy ride you’ll never forget."

"The last 2 years have definitely impacted the way we made our new work. We spent a lot of time on Zoom, talking, writing and creating on our own, a very different approach from Casting Off which was created on the training floor, trying new tricks, letting our lives interrupt and inspire us."

"The pandemic... also gave us an opportunity to test the show out more thoroughly as well as spend some time redeveloping the script. We’ve definitely had to rethink our “spit handshake” finale!"

"If you want to feel better about your own dysfunctional romantic relationship, this might be the show for you! We have been married for ten years and have the therapy bills to prove it."

Growing up in France in the middle of bumblef*ck nowhere meant that I didn’t watch a theatre show until I moved to England and studied Drama GCSE, so I grew up on films that my mum brought back from her trips to the UK.

"Growing up, my mum was always super creative with entertaining me in school holidays and encouraging hobbies… even if it led to me in tears at a trial ballet class because I didn’t want to ‘walk on my tippy-toes’!"

"I followed the advice of my friend and famous British Twitch Streamer Brian ‘Limmy’ and started to stream on twitch. It allowed me to find a whole new amazing audience and create the type of work I would never get close to doing anywhere else."

"I've wanted to be a performer since I could talk. It's just always been so clear to me that this is what I'm meant to do – so I've been finding any and every excuse to be on a stage since childhood."

"It wasn’t till I was in my mid-twenties I seriously considered trying to write something. I’d always have ideas but no strategy on where to even begin. The real turning point of inspiration was watching Angry Alan by Penelope Skinner at Fringe 2018. It blew my mind."

"There’s a lack of diversity within alternative comedy, which I think is primarily down to its much smaller scale than more mainstream forms of comedy. If you scale down any industry, you get a microcosm of the same ratio, but it is far more blatant in a much smaller pool of talent."

"I decided a long time ago that failure is not an option. I’ve sacrificed way too much to not be living my purpose. I love, live and breathe stand-up comedy. I honestly feel so lucky to be doing the thing I love."

Guide to Surviving Masculinist Territory is a performance in the form of a sound walk in urban space. The audience follows a woman in the street, while listening to the story of an "Incel", a member of this community of "involuntary celibates" who meet on the internet around their common hatred of women.
